Published by Silvana Editoriale andcurated byClaudia Zanfi, the book offers an alternative journey through the ‘New Balkans’, featuring an analysis of the city’s contemporary cultural life and that of the people in this youthful melting pot, through the eyes of both artists and writers.

The ARCIPELAGO BALKANI journey thus completes its fourth and final step. After the site-specific projects presented in the town of Modena (Italy), Skopje (Macedonia) and Tirana (Albania), our tour comes to its end in Sarajevo (Bosnia Herzegovina).

20 years after the outbreak of war in the Balkans, (Summer 1991) the project sets out to plot a path no longer through the past – with all its scenes of war and destruction – but to the future of this huge and youthful melting pot which the Balkan area currently represents.
